Optimization of conditions for a surfactant-producing strain and application to petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated soil bioremediation

Application of Atmospheric and Room-Temperature Plasma (ARTP) to Microbial Breeding

“…ARTP technology is extensively used in environmental remediation, enabling the generation of mutant bacterial strains with enhanced pollutant degradation capabilities and tolerance, thus improving environmental remediation efficiency. For instance, Wang et al [ 53 ] utilized Bacillus amyloliquefaciens A3 as a wild-type strain, which produces lipopeptide biosurfactant, to enhance biosurfactant production through ARTP mutagenesis, aiming to remove petroleum hydrocarbons from soil. In soil column leaching experiments, they achieved 45.44% removal of petroleum hydrocarbons by modifying relevant enzyme activities.…”

Natural surfactant mediated bioremediation approaches for contaminated soil

“…Bioremediation of in situ contaminated soil by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens A3 follows through ARTP mutagenesis. 149 However, some methods, such as engineering bacterial growth and bacterial mutagenesis, are mostly applied to further progress. These bacteria are prepared for the bioremediation of petroleum-based hydrocarbons.…”

Effect of surfactants on the removal of total petroleum hydrocarbons and microbial communities during bioremediation of a contaminated mining soil

“…One of the main problems of environmental pollution is the hydrocarbon spills and derivatives such as gasoline, diesel, and motor oil, caused by anthropogenic accidents, maritime disasters, pipeline failures, persistent pollution, and natural oil leaks (Wang et al, 2022). The main adverse effects of petroleum hydrocarbons spills are the high toxicity and carcinogenicity associated with polycyclic aromatic and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) compounds, making its remotion a critical need (Dai et al, 2022).…”
